Relocatable Buildings (RLB)

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Transatlantic Middle East District (TAM) is seeking preliminary information for market research purposes from capable and reliable sources who may be interested in submitting a proposal for the procurement of Relocatable Buildings (RLBs) to support U.S. Army Central Command (USARCENT) requirements. This summary provides the preliminary requirements for RLBs. USARCENT has a need for an alternative Relocatable Building as an interim solution to traditional soft-shelled tents. RLB's must provide energy efficient systems with a minimum R-value of R-15 or greater. RLB's shall be manufactured or distributed by the contractor and delivered to the Central Command (CENTCOM) Area of Responsibility (AoR). RLB's will have various intended uses. RLB usage includes, but is not limited to: Morale Welfare and Recreation (MWR), Religious Services, Theater, Latrine, Shower, Laundry, Housing, Gym, Clinic, Dining Facility (DFAC)/Kitchen, and administrative support. Sufficient detail will be provided at time of solicitation to ensure proper structural, electrical and drainage design meets the requirement for intended usage. Overall these facilities must meet or exceed the latest editions of the Department of Defense (DoD) United Facilities Criteria publication UFC 1-201-01, British Standard 7671, and applicable IBC references from the UFC (http://www.wbdg.org/ffc/dod/unified-facilities-criteria-ufc). RLB's must be designed for non-complex erection by Soldiers, able to be disassembled and shipped, be well insulated, and be equipped with low power consumption components (e.g. energy efficient Environmental Control Units (ECUs), Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting, and other energy efficient technologies). RLBs shall be constructed by using an envelope design, and must be capable of assembly in a single or two story structure by adding or removing envelopes as needed in a scalable manner. RLBs will be rapidly deployable, air transportable, simple to ship, easily sustainable, low maintenance, utilize redundant parts, and require minimal spare parts. They shall be designed and composed of materials that mitigate issues with termites, rot, mildew, mold, and warping. No stucco or gypsum board will be utilized in any of the RLBs. Magnesium oxide panels may be used internally in structural panels but must not be exposed. If a solicitation is released at a later date, TAM is contemplating a competitive contract to provide RLBs in support of USARCENT operations worldwide. The Contractor shall provide management, labor, materials, spare parts, equipment, and supervision to accomplish design, construction, and delivery of RLBs to the operational area. The Period of Performance is anticipated to be a one year base contract with four one year option periods. Interested parties should provide a Capabilities Statement which demonstrates the ability to provide RLB's to meet the Government's preliminary requirements. Commercially available RLB's or Commercially Available products that require only minor reconfiguration are the preferred solution. Interested parties should provide information with regard to their particular company to include company name, organizational chart, address, point-of-contact, email address, phone number, Dun and Bradstreet number (DUNS) or Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code, and fax number.
